The Good and the Bad
✅ What works:
- Zero shifting issues after repeated remounting (confirmed in our test fixture)
- No finish wear even after solvent cleaning – our armorer’s favorite feature
- That one “too tight” return? Actually proved the precise fit for OEM frames
❌ What could improve:
- Price point sits above polymer options
- Blue locktite pre-applied – some prefer to choose their own
Who It’s For
Buy if: You need bombproof mounting for serious use, prefer US-made aluminum over Chinesium, and appreciate proper torque specs engraved right on the hardware.
Skip if: You’re mounting airsoft optics or think “close enough” counts as gunsmithing.
